Blackjack, Elrond, Mum Meg and baby Java crowd round to have a good look, the man on the left is my husband Jim and the couple on the right have an Alpaca stud farm not far from us where Carlos grew up.

"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

I'm glad you like my babies..they really are beautiful animals, not just too look at either, they are very good natured and friendly animals.

When I went out this morning to feed them Carlos was strutting around the paddock, leaping around, showing off basically in front of the others..but I'm not sure what Mum Meg is up to (she is due her baby in Feb) she is running around at his heels, never leaving his side...me thinks she is looking for a Daddy for her little one when it comes... .

HAL..a local spinner already has dibs on the wool..maybe I can get her to knit you all jumpers..

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I'm with Ann on this one. I think Meg's spotted the father for her next addition to the farm. She's no dope and knows a good thing when she sees it. He can strut and think he's in charge. You and Meg (and Ann) know better.

.@Ann and Andy...the only problem with that is Carlos has been fixed.... I think she's just looking for a Daddy who will help her bring up the one she is carrying...and Carlos arrived at the right time...
